I reckon I'll be there, look on the bright side, cars glisten in the wet. Even a shitty paint job looks a million $$$. Might miss the BBQ if its raining though, done my time around a hotplate with a brollie up catching all the smoke, eating half raw snags in saturated Nike/Addidas/?????. But I'll pack for it anyway.

But the sun is gunna shine, the sky is gunna line [makes no sense, but sounds good] no evil thoughts here.

if we all polish/wax our cars nicely, we'll get that awesome beeding effect. i've had it for a while now, but it needs a clean.

they said it would rain today, and nothing happened until 5ish, and that wasn't even rain... stupid BOM.

Man, i hope Sunday is like today... Its SIC weather outside...

Just bought meself a pod for the weekend..... Someones gonna have to gimme someideas on where to out the freakin thing, it kinda sits funny :S looks good thou

won't be able to make the 12pm time....but i'll possibly ring Ewen and meet up later on if i can, and if it's not snowing!!!

my car won't be that great in a photoshoot anyway with a smashed headlight (STILL!!)...unless we take pics from the ass-end :D

Who is that idiot washing his car in the rain...................me me me me me

Everyone pay attention to what Terminal has to say!!There's a positive in every negative!I've just finished going over my ride in time to hide it from the rain,but if worse comes to worse tomorrow,we can all get those cool water beading shots mentioned!Then you can at least tick that scenario off the list of photo oppertunities...

yeah, well i was just about to get my gal all gleaming and shiny, and then the heavens opened up....sigh....

just out of curiosity, what products do you guys/gals use on your liners? I use meguires, the paint cleaner is the bees knees, but havent used it on the new paint job, should be ok, but being a pearl, am a bit nervous! any thoughts/theories?

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
